Persimmon are probably not alone here (they just happened to make the headlines), it just that when numbers align like this it strikes a chord and puts the claim that £££ is the barrier to building more efficient homes into perspective.

In tonight's criminal justice news, 2 officers with the New Castle County (DE) Police Dept beat the sh*t out of 16-year-old Roger Brown for a "marijuana investigation" – while a 3rd tries to stop the recording

Today House Democrats for the third time voted AGAINST paying federal workers as negotiations continue.

Even several of Nancy Pelosi's House Democrats are acknowledging that a physical barrier is necessary to solve the crisis at our southern border.

Gun bans don't work. In fact, I believe in general that supply side gun controls (laws restricting legal access in hopes of stopping criminals) are not nearly as effective as efforts to reduce demand among criminals.
